Cumulative Infiltration given Total Precipitation Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cumulative Infiltration = Total Precipitation-Initial Abstraction-Direct Surface Runoff
F = P_T-I_a-Q
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Cumulative Infiltration - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The cumulative infiltration excluding initial abstraction is total amount of water that soil strata are able to absorb from rainfall or irrigation in a given time.
Total Precipitation - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Total Precipitation is the sum of rainfall and the assumed water equivalent of snowfall for a given year.
Initial Abstraction - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Initial Abstraction is a parameter that accounts for all losses prior to runoff and consists mainly of interception, infiltration, evaporation, and surface depression storage.
Direct Surface Runoff - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - Direct Surface Runoff is the rain or meltwater that runs off during the rain or melt event as overland flow or in the vegetation cover above frozen soil.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Precipitation: 16 Cubic Meter --> 16 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Initial Abstraction: 5 Cubic Meter --> 5 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Direct Surface Runoff: 9 Cubic Meter --> 9 Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
